Private/hard money difference?

[Jacob Mistric]

I know the difference between private and hard money, but when I go to search lenders, a lot of them advertise as “private/hard money loans available” or something like that. I’m interpreting it as they consider it the same thing.

My original plan was to buy the house with hard money with a down payment using private money to then later refinance with a conventional mortgage, Classic BRRRR using other peoples money basically.
